A student determines the molar mass of acetone

1 answer:

7 0

The Formula of Acetone is $C_3H_6O$
To find the Mass Molar of a compound, you add the Atomic weights of it's atoms.
If you check the Periodic table:
Atomic Weight of Carbone C: 12.0107
Atomic Weight of Hydrogen: 1.00794
Atomic Weight of Oxygen: 15.9994

So, you got:
Total Atomic Weight of Carbone in Acetone: 12.0107 * 3 = 36.0321
Total Atomic Weight of Hydrogen in Acetone: 1.00794 * 6 = 6.04764
Total Atomic Weight of Oxygen in Acetone = 15.9994 * 1 = 15.9994

Now, you add this numbers
36.0321 + 6.04764 + 15.9994 = 58.07914

So, the Molar Mass of Acetone is 58.09714 g/mol

Hope this Helps :D

Why does increasing the temperature of two reactants in solution make a

gogolik [260]

The two molecules will only react if they have enough energy. By heating the mixture, you are raising the energy levels of the molecules involved in the reaction. Increasing temperature also means the molecules are moving around faster and will therefore "bump" into each other more often.

Why do substances burn with or without flame?

Gala2k [10]

Flame (fire) is the effect of a chemical reaction that produces visible light and heat. The chemical reaction is going on in the substance being burned.. Thats why coals glow and flames seem to leap into the air.

If your reaction does not have a flame, then either it is not producing visible light or the reaction does not occur in the air above the substance.

How many molecules are there in 840 grams of na2SO4

beks73 [17]

Answer:

3.56x10^24 molecules

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass of Na2SO4 = 840g

Molar Mass of Na2SO4 = (23 x2) + 32 + (16x4) =46 + 12 + 64 = 142g/mol

From Avogadro's hypothesis, 1mole of any substance contains 6.02x10^23 molecules. This also gives that 1mole of Na2SO4 contains 6.02x10^23 molecules.

If 1 mole (i.e 142g) contains 6.02x10^23 molecules,

Therefore, 840g of Na2SO4 will contain = (840 x 6.02x10^23)/142 = 3.56x10^24 molecules

Select the correct order of the GC components

Carrier Gas, Flow Controller, Column, Detector, Recorder

First we have a cylinder containing the carrier gas. From there, the carrier gas goes to the flow controller, which determines how much carrier gas we are entering into the column (it doesn’t let more gas pass through). Then, the carrier gas enters the column, which is the most important part of the device. The sample enters the column from another place: the injector. Then, the sample and the carrier gas go together across the column. The interactions between the sample and the column will determine how fast each sample component goes through the column, and so: which component gets out earlier. So, at the end, you will have isolated each substance. Then, each one passes (alone) through the detector, which measures something about the sample – this information will let you know which substance it is. Finally, the recorder provides you with the information the detector has found. Nowadays, the recorder is a computer. In the “stone age” they just used a rudimentary printer.
